Mice Control Service

Getting rid of mice can be challenging, but with a systematic approach, you can effectively manage and eliminate them from your home. Here are steps to help you:

1. Identify Signs of Infestation

• Droppings: Look for small, dark droppings around food packages, drawers, and along baseboards.
• Gnaw Marks: Check for gnaw marks on food packaging, walls, or furniture.
• Nests: Mice build nests from shredded materials like paper or fabric, often in hidden, secluded areas.
• Tracks: Look for tracks and smudge marks along baseboards and walls.

2. Seal Entry Points

• Inspect: Identify and seal all possible entry points around your home, including gaps around pipes, doors, and windows.
• Steel Wool: Stuff steel wool into small holes or gaps where mice could enter. They cannot chew through steel wool.

3. Remove Food Sources

• Store Food Properly: Keep food in airtight containers and promptly clean up crumbs and spills.
• Pet Food: Store pet food in sealed containers and avoid leaving food out overnight.

4. Use Traps

• Snap Traps: Set snap traps with bait like peanut butter or chocolate in areas where mice are active. Check traps regularly and dispose of captured mice promptly.
• Glue Boards: Place glue boards along walls or in corners where mice travel. Once caught, dispose of the boards properly.

5. Natural Deterrents

• Peppermint Oil: Soak cotton balls in peppermint oil and place them near entry points or areas where mice are active. Refresh the oil weekly.
• Ultrasonic Repellers: Use ultrasonic devices that emit high-frequency sound waves to deter mice. Place them in rooms where mice are seen.

6. Cleanliness

• Declutter: Reduce clutter in storage areas to minimize hiding spots for mice.
• Regular Cleaning: Sweep floors, wipe down countertops, and vacuum carpets regularly to eliminate crumbs and food residue.

7. Professional Help

• Pest Control Services: If the infestation persists or if you prefer not to handle traps yourself, contact a professional pest control service. They can provide effective treatments and ongoing monitoring.
